I’m considering starting a business

Are you interested in becoming an entrepreneur? Would you like to be in charge of your own work, or do you have a great business idea? Maybe you have the opportunity to take over the operations and premises of a business that is closing down, or maybe you want to continue your family’s business. Instead being an employee, you can become self-employed and start a business. Entrepreneurship training, advice and sparring are available.

If you are already a client of employment services, talk to your specialist as soon as you start planning on starting a business. Keep in mind that in terms of unemployment security, so-called light entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship are the same thing, so being an entrepreneur or a light entrepreneur could affect your unemployment security.

Support for starting a business

If you are interested in starting a business, it is always possible to learn about entrepreneurship on your own. However, you can and should ask for advice from our customer service for employers and entrepreneurs.

Financial support, advice and help to get started

You may be entitled to a start-up grant to help ensure your personal income at the early stages of your business. Discuss it with your specialist or contact the customer service for employers and entrepreneurs.
